Thursday notes: Shane McDermott (foot) doubtful for USF

CORAL GABLES — Shane McDermott’s foot injury may keep him out of Saturday’s game at South Florida.

McDermott, a junior from Palm Beach Central High and the Hurricanes’ starting center, was listed as doubtful on the team’s latest injury report, released Thursday.

According to coach Al Golden, McDermott suffered a foot injury in UM’s win over Florida on Sept. 7. Officially, he is listed as having a “lower extremity injury.” McDermott will be on the team bus to Tampa, which leaves Friday.

Senior Jared Wheeler started in his place against Savannah State. McDermott wore a walking boot on the sidelines. Wheeler is expected to start on Saturday.
